Effect of Damage on Moisture Transport in Concrete
Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 2015AbstractThis paper presents the results of an experimental and analytical study on the effect of distributed cracks (damage) on moisture transport in concrete. Specifically, the writers investigate the following: (1) how damage affects the saturated and unsaturated transport and electrical resistivity, (2) whether one-dimensional (1D) analysis based on

Prevention and management of moisture-associated skin damage
British Journal of Nursing, 2021Disruption to the integrity of the skin can reduce patient wellbeing and quality of life. A major cause of skin breakdown is prolonged exposure to moisture, but this is often overlooked. When skin is wet, it becomes more susceptible to damage from friction and shearing forces, and skin flora can penetrate the disrupted barrier, causing further ...

Moisture-Associated Skin Damage
Journal of Wound, Ostomy & Continence Nursing, 2011Moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) is caused by prolonged exposure to various sources of moisture, including urine or stool, perspiration, wound exudate, mucus, saliva, and their contents. MASD is characterized by inflammation of the skin, occurring with or without erosion or secondary cutaneous infection.

Moisture Damage and Asthma: A Birth Cohort Study
Pediatrics, 2015BACKGROUND: Excess moisture and visible mold are associated with increased risk of asthma. Only a few studies have performed detailed home visits to characterize the extent and location of moisture damage and mold growth.

Laboratory evaluation of moisture damage in asphalt
Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 2012Traditionally, moisture damage in asphalt is determined by laboratory testing of liquid asphalt binder, loose mix, and (or) solid asphalt concrete samples under wet and dry conditions. Yet some asphalt mixes pass such laboratory moisture damage tests but show poor moisture damage potential in the field.

Diagnosis of moisture damage in asphalt pavements
SPIE Proceedings, 2004One of the most common modes of premature failure of asphalt pavements is water damage. Moisture damage in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavements occurs when water infiltrates the pavement system, causing premature failure of hot-mix asphalt pavements, primarily through loss of adhesion between the asphalt binder and the aggregates.

Moisture damage potential of cold asphalt
International Journal of Pavement Engineering, 2009This paper presents a study of the effects of moisture ingress on the mechanical properties of a cold-laid grave emulsion asphalt mixture. A vacuum moisture saturation technique has been developed to induce different moisture levels in laboratory-prepared specimens, which simulate site conditions deduced from a field trial.
